Sonic Unleashed is split into daytime and nighttime levels. People wanted something more closely resembling the 2D games, and Sonic Team seemed keen to listen. Sonic Unleashed has some really great ideas that came from fan reactions to 3D Sonic games. But outside of that novelty, Shadow the Hedgehog is part of the tradition of clunky and buggy 3D Sonic games that are probably best enjoyed MST3K-style with some friends and a fair amount of patience.

But despite the checkered history, Sonic is still remembered for the highlights, and fans keep pulling for the Blue Blur. A number of mainline entries in the Sonic series have been deeply flawed games that struggled to bring fast-paced 2D gameplay into 3D environments.
